Chapter 369 The Newest and Richest Black Family

Seeing the headline of the newspaper, Nelson always felt that something was wrong. He opened the front page of the first page and saw two familiar names——Jacob and Martha. of respondents.

Although Muggles are everywhere on the street, Penguin almost always chooses interviewees who are somewhat related to the wizarding world. It can be seen that he has hidden some careful thoughts, but such a blatant violation of the secrecy law may bring him serious problems. No small trouble.

"Has Jacob's memory recovered? How could the penguin go to Martha?" Nelson was a little annoyed, but also looking forward to it. "I hope I won't be asked to hunt him down then."

Before I could take a closer look, a warm greeting came from the front.

"Gentlemen, welcome home!"

Before the cruise ship that Nelson and Tom took arrived at the port, Borroux waited at the port early in the morning with his two sons and daughters. Standing in the sea breeze, the Black family did not feel the cold at all. On the contrary, his heart was very happy Fiery, but the source of this fiery mood is slightly different.

Borlux touched his pocket, and when he touched the parchment that was covered with body heat, his beating heart fell back into his stomach again. This kind of action has happened too many times this morning.

Ever since Phineas passed away, the Black family has fallen into the embarrassment of having nothing but money. The so-called oldest and most noble family has long been left behind by other pure-blood families due to the decline of their population. A group of up-and-comers such as the Potters and the Malfoy family are developing unstoppably, harvesting coveted wealth in emerging industries such as potions and alchemy. In the complex emotions that coexist with loneliness, and those unbreakable alliances have long since broken after smelling the smell of new wealth-intuitively speaking, apart from the gold coins and jewels piled up in the Gringotts vault, there is no one in the Black family in the Ministry of Magic. Being in an important position, they don't even have a share in the business in Knockturn Alley. Even in Diagon Alley, the only thing that Black's family holds a part of the shares in is the long-running Lihen Bookstore.

Even after visiting Nurmengard, Borlux, who has some novelty sources, can only sell his own goods through some hidden channels. The money is indeed a lot, and the ancient Black family is still a wizard at the banquet from time to time. He is our guest, but when it comes to business, he is always out of hand, so he is scolded by Phineas who goes home from time to time every day.

"Obviously you left a mess, the most unpopular principal!"

To be honest, if Phineas hadn’t been too disliked at the beginning, and the family’s extreme “purity” style pushed away too many friends, the Black family would not have fallen into the current situation, Borroux thought countless times To refute Phineas like this, but he swallowed it every time, facing a portrait of a deceased elder, what else could he say?

But all that changed today!

Borlux never imagined that the small businesses in Knockturn Alley that the family had lost in his hands would become the biggest protection for the family from the Ministry of Magic's arrest. When the "Dark Wizard" was taken out of the house by the Aurors, only the Black Mansion in Grimmauld Place was deserted. This kind of desolation is something that every ambitious family would not like to see, but in the past few days, they are hard to protect themselves. Only envy is left.

Aren't the Black family also very keen on black magic? Why are you okay this time? How much did that Boroux guy give Nobby Richie? Why doesn't the Ministry take its own money?

Some wizards who wanted to save themselves tried to inquire about the news of the Black family as much as possible, but thanks to Phineas, Black had been isolated for so long that it was difficult for them to find out anything nutritious.

Finally, when the wizards related to Borgin Bock were about to be caught, they finally found out.

It turned out that this guy who always showed his mediocre appearance had signed a secret agreement with Nurmengard early on. The high-quality alchemy products circulating on the market were officially produced by him. international market! He actually got on Grindelwald's line directly, and now even if Nobby Rich himself fell, the Ministry of Magic would not do anything to him.

Borroux's act of giving up the black magic business in Knockturn Alley in the early years has also become far-sighted and insightful. They are eager to find out the real reason why Borrox can successfully board the ship and save his life wisely, but Borrox is ambiguous. Qing's ambiguous attitude was confusing, and soon, when Azkaban was about to be full, a steady stream of visitors knocked on the door of No. 12, Grimmauld Place, which had been lonely for many years.

But before the visit of the British wizarding families, Borlux had just received an important guest.

"You can just call me Andre," he said, "Mr. Black, we all see your sincerity to Nurmengard, so today, I brought a good deal for our good friend." Gift."

"Go to his noblest and oldest Black family," Borlocks could not suppress his excitement, secretly said, "From now on we will be the newest and richest Black family!"

Nurmengard, who had won a big victory in the United States, was full of confidence. When receiving guests later, he handled this confidence just right. In just a few days, those wizard families who were like sharks smelling blood were happy. The earth bleeds a lot, as long as they can get on the same line, even if they are off the line, life can be much more comfortable.

This piece of parchment in my arms is the new life money I received this morning, a proposal sent by the Malfoy family, recommending him to be the new Director of International Affairs - the previous Director just used his position to cover up the wizarding population The cartel was taken into Azkaban by Nobby Rich.

"How can this be called life money?" This is almost a certainty, which means that after many years, someone from the Black family can finally hold an important position in the Ministry of Magic again, and the position of the director of the International Affairs Department is more for his own. Business provides convenience, Borroux thought happily, and looked at Nelson even more fervently, "This should be a small gift of friendship, Malfoy, my dear friend."

Nelson stuffed the newspaper in his pocket casually, and greeted the Black family with a smile. When Adele saw the stranger, she hid behind him in fear.

"You actually came to pick us up in person." Nelson and Tom stepped forward and greeted equally enthusiastically. Nelson still remembered the last time he was greeted when he disembarked, when he disembarked from the Icarus and was surrounded by dozens of saints. When I ask you to eat.

"It's my honor to welcome our hero," Borroux shook hands with the two, and gestured behind him, "I saw your heroic appearance in the newspaper, and to tell you the truth, I also dreamed about it when I was young." To have this experience of being a hero."

"Just passing by on a tour." Nelson smiled greenly, and he always had the same expression when he was interviewed by various newspapers these days.

"If it was you passing by, you must have done better than us." Tom would always pick up his masterpiece "Emotional Intelligence" after being alone with acquaintances, which made the atmosphere of this meeting even more cheerful.

"Thank you very much for coming to pick us up." Nelson thanked again, "I have caused you trouble."

"How could it be troublesome? Alphard and Walburga missed their good friends too much, so they inquired about your return flight," Borroux smiled gracefully, and said, "It's just that I do this Father's is fine, so I came with the two of them, but fortunately I came, otherwise this silly boy and silly girl would really be frozen."

After all, the almost invisible manservant standing behind them stepped forward and put two thick cloaks trimmed with gold thread on Nelson and Tom.

It was only then that Borroux noticed the red corners of Nelson's clothes, squatted down, looked at Adele who was trying to hide, raised his eyebrows in surprise, took off the cloak he was wearing, and handed it to Nelson, explaining Said, "I have self-regulating magic on every piece of clothing, it's just decoration."

Nelson thanked him, took the cloak, and wrapped it around Adele.

After saying hello, Borroux didn't say anything extra, but stood aside to make room for his son and daughter. He looked at the young people with a smile and was in a great mood.

After their father left, Alphad and Walburga stepped forward reservedly.

But Alphard's reserve lasted less than five seconds before disappearing. He pressed forward urgently, approached Nelson, and asked in a low voice like a secret agent, "Where is the thing I want? You won't forget it, right? "

Nelson rolled his eyes, struggled to take out a small gadget wrapped in oiled paper from the box, and stuffed it into Alphard's arms, "You don't even care about what we went through in the United States, whether you are tired on the road, just Keep an eye on that shit of yours."

"This thing is very important, and it is a specialty of America. You have seen the explosive potion last time. With the fangs of the Peruvian Vipertooth, I believe I can successfully blast Ravenclaw's tower while Dwight is sleeping... ..." Alphard diverted his thinking seriously, and dragged it back to the runway when the thinking was most dangerous, "I was quite interested at first, but my father has been talking next to me these days, I feel that it is important for you The experience is already more familiar than your own!"

"How familiar?" Tom asked curiously.

Seeing that Alphard had already started to recite Penguin's first report, Nelson quickly covered his mouth. Penguin's report was good in everything, and the degree of restoration was very high, but some words were too exaggerated and too disgusting.

"Tom, I feel that your complexion is a bit off." Walburga walked up to him like a lady with a smile on his face and asked, "Are you seasick?"

"How is it possible?" Tom did a chest expansion exercise with disdain, "I feel really boring now that I am down-to-earth."

Adele was the first to laugh, and it took only a second for her to attract Walburga's attention.

"Let's go," Borroux said, "Go home and warm up first. Standing on the pier is not a problem."

Alphard dragged Nelson far behind the line, looked at Tom who was chatting with his father in front, and his sister who took off her ladylike disguise and ran around holding the struggling little girl. He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice. Said, "Are you sure the goods are all right?"

"Why are you pretending that we're trading some illegal contraband?" Nelson said, spreading his hands speechlessly. "It's just a few ordinary teeth."

"You don't understand, if my father finds out that I want to blow up the Ravenclaw tower to the sky, he will definitely not let me go."

"?"

Nelson turned his head slowly, and an emotional question mark popped above his head, "Are you really going to blow up the Ravenclaw Tower?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Aren't you joking?" Nelson made a gesture to snatch back the small bag.

"I'm just kidding." Alphard sneered, "I only keep a little bit for digging a secret passage belonging to Slytherin! I'll give you the rest... By the way, what's the effect of the explosive potion before?"

"Well, it worked great," Nelson said, rubbing his chin. "I added a bit of targeting formula to it, put it in a gun head, and almost killed an octopus that was hundreds of feet long."

"Almost? It's a pity," Alphard thought it was just an ordinary octopus, sighed, but quickly pulled himself together, touched the small bag in his hand, and said, "To be honest, from the first time I saw you, I knew you must have the same interests as me, but I still want to confirm one thing, this fang is only so small, there will be no problem, right?"

"When you said the name Peruvian Vipertooth, I thought you had studied a bit, but now I am really suspicious," Nelson curled his lips, "This kind of dragon is only fifteen feet long in adulthood , not much bigger than a horse."

"That's it..." Alphard's expression was a little dazed, "I thought all the dragons were the same size as the ones raised on our farm."

"..."

Good boy, you pretended to be Boda quietly!

"What's the matter, Nelson."

"Nothing." Nelson shook his head and asked secretly, "Is there anything your father wants from us?"

"It's nothing," Alphard said like a silly boy. "It happens that there are some friends at home, so I invite you to visit. An old man came to Nurmengard earlier. He looks old and scary. Please take care of my father." Don't worry, I will take care of you."

"..."

"What's wrong? Are your ears uncomfortable?"

"I may have been poisoned by holding the fangs for too long."

Alphard's out-of-the-box thinking can finally create a big communication barrier.

"By the way, where did the little girl you brought back come from?" Alphard looked forward to Adele who was struggling in her sister's arms. Teacher of the strange class, is this the new student you helped Hogwarts find?"

"Her name is Adele, this year just happened..." Nelson's thoughts were quickly dragged into the logic that Alphard is good at, but he quickly reacted and grabbed the back of Alphard's neck, "Wait , what did you say? Quidditch teacher? Alphard, would you like to fly back to London with me on my broom?"

But compared to Nelson, who had been bouncing on the sea for a long time, Alphard's movements were undoubtedly faster, and he dodged slipperily like a golden snitch.
